Re: Rally Engine Advice

Matt   For Rallying you should keep things pretty simple.  A pair of Hitachi's or a pair of 45mm side draft webers, properly jetted, would be the go for a start.  EFI requires a computer and sensors plus pots of $$$ to set up the tuning.   An L20 head is a good option for the bigger valves. Have the bottom end balanced and you should have a reliable rally motor  putting out around 150 - 180BHP.  Later you may like to fit a stroker crank to get about 2.32L capacity in the L18 Block. This really ups the grunt for rally application.   For rallying, motors need to be strong and reliable rather than having huge HP. Brakes, Front struts, Gearboxes and diffs also need to be beefier than stock items.  have fun. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matt Cherry To: Ozdat Digest Sent: Thursday, 18 April 2002 19:11 PM Subject: Rally Engine Advice Hi Listers, i'm going to be building an engine for my 180b sss rally car soon & i was wondering if anyone could give me ideas on top of what i already have for it?
